GROWN IN FRANCE, MADE IN ITALY

FROM FLAX TO LINEN

 

Oasi Lino’s journey begins in Normandy in northern France, where the world’s most exquisite flax fibres are sourced. Sown in springtime, flax plants signal they are ready to be harvested by bursting into bloom in early summer — a brief moment that transforms entire fields into seas of pale blue. After harvest, the fibres are baled before being transported to Italy, where they are transformed by ZEGNA into an array of exquisite Oasi Lino fabrics. We follow in the footsteps of our Founder as we commit to certifying Oasi Lino fibres as 100% traceable from 2024.

Following the road paved by our Founder in the 1930s, Ambassador Daniel Brühl journeys through the Biella Alps in northern Italy to reach Oasi Zegna – a 100 km2 natural territory and the home of our values. Watch as he explores our historic Mill and uncovers the processes behind our exquisite Oasi Lino fabric.

ROAD TO TRACEABILITY

Crafted from flax fibres, Oasi Lino is a development that’s central to Our Road to Traceability. As a vertically integrated master of fabric, ZEGNA responsibly sources the world’s finest raw materials and combines them with innovative Italian manufacture. This is a part of our legacy of action ignited generations ago.

 

Along with Oasi Cashmere, Oasi Lino has become our trademark of traceability and accountability — our Road to Tomorrow.
